My locker sits next to the locker of a girl I don't generally talk to. We have a class together, and even though I usually end up sitting next to her, we don't talk. We're just not friends really... It's not a bad/good thing, it just is, you know? Well anyhow, having a locker situated next to someone whom you don't talk to can be quite awkward. Here are some real-life, wholly true examples:
The time: in between classes. As I'm stuffing my books and purse into my locker while simultaneously trying to grab the books I need for my next class, the girl with the locker next to mine walks up. She kneels to take some books from her locker and I think I hear something akin to "Hey." I don't register the noise until about five seconds later. Once I realize that she said something, I spend another two or three seconds figuring out if she actually said
something or if I'm just going crazy again. I reluctantly decide that she had said a greeting of some sort, so I said "Hey!" And that's when she looks at me like I'm insane. I mutter something like "Oh sorry, I thought you said hi, but whatever hi anyways!" And then silence. Luckily class started right then so I was able to run off before the situation got any worse.
